Bank employees to enter favorite local
companies in sweepstakes for $53,000 grants
Small businesses across Fifth Third’s footprint are going to
feel the love leading up to and during the Thanksgiving shopping
weekend. Until Nov. 27, Fifth Third employees have the chance to
enter their favorite local small business in a sweepstakes to win
one of three $53,000 grants. Fifth Third wants to help these
businesses thrive and drive sustainable economic growth for their
local community.

"Small businesses are the backbone of the communities where we
live, work and play,” said Melissa Stevens, Fifth Third’s chief
marketing officer. "We want to recognize their contributions, and
this gives our dedicated employees the chance to show their
favorite small business some Fifth Third love."
Employees are encouraged to visit nearby small businesses, swap
in pens, snap photos and share their experience on social media.
Visit Fifth Third’s X, Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn to see the
entries or follow #love53.
Any Fifth Third employee in an area with retail branches can
participate in the sweepstakes process. Fifth Third has long been
committed to investing in small businesses, with a focus on
partnering directly with individuals in those communities to
achieve their plans. Notably, Fifth Third’s Empowering Black
Futures program invested $180 million into nine low-to-moderate
income neighborhoods to drive transformation at the local
level.
For this inaugural “Love, Fifth Third” program, Fifth Third
defines small businesses as those with 100 or fewer employees, and
$1 million or less in annual revenue. The business must be locally
owned and operated and provide goods or services to the local
community.
Once the sweepstakes entry period concludes, Fifth Third will
randomly select three entries to receive $53,000 grants. The
businesses will be notified in December. 1
